FORESTRY.
fJiP,l Fan , IGntisly Is Best.

The question of fall planting of trees
periodically occupies the columns of the
leading agricultural journals; and during
the early fall months no question is oftene1
asked by purchasers of trees than, ado
you recommend fall planting" The an
swers, mo" and "yes," may both be ap-
plicable if the situation and condition of
the soil where the trees are to be planted
are known.
On soils imperfectly drained, in which
an over abundance of water remains from
the time our autumn rains fall until
the lst of May, then / would say "no"-
leave your planting alone until spring. Be
the tree ever SO carefully lifted, there are
a good many mutilated roots these broken
roots, if the soil in which they are placed
is in good condition, will callus and be in
a suitable state for making new growth
on the first approach of warmth in the soil
in spring. If, however, too much moisture
is present in the soil, instead of forming a
callus, it blackens and decays back 10 the
main root.
On all welldrained soils, either natural
or artificial, and where the trees to be
planted are well matured, | prefer fall
planting; the trees get settled in their po-
sition and are ready to commence root
growth before spring planted trees are
moved, and if dry time occurs during
May or June they stank it better than the
spring planted ones, especially the late
planted ones.
One point / would impress upon tree
planters-to pack the soil closely around
the roots-if shoveled in on top of the
roots and the feet used to pack the soil, q
great many empty spaces are left around
the roots which prevent the production OF
new ones and leave the old in good con-
dition to easily dry up. l generally use in
filing up these empty spaces a short,
round stick about an inch or SO in diameter.

DJgestIbiIify Of Hay.

The Germantown Telegraph summa-
rIZes some digestion experiments made at
the Maine Experiment Station, from which
We find that in the consumption of hay and
clover, there is, perhaps, under ordinary
circumstances, a less proportion di5ested
and SO rendered available i'll the growth or
fattening of animals than is generally sup
posed. The composition of timothy hay is
given as follows Protein compound,
5.9i; crude fiber, $3.50; nitrogen free ex-
tract, 47.4l; fat, 2.97. OF the above there
is under ordinary circumstances di9ested,
protein compounds, 2.1 crude fiber, Ia;
nitrogen free extract, 21.9; fat, Ia.
BY the above it appears that only about
one half of the nutritive principles of TIM
othy are digested. In the case of clover
hay, the result is very nearly the same, the
only difference of any account being III the
fact that clover hay furnishes about twice
as much of the protein compounds as the
timothy. Assuming that $3.50 pounds of
timothy is cut from an acre, there will be
digested 1916 pounds of protein matter,
while from an acre of 400 pounds OF
clover hay would be digested 2oS.2 of pro-
tein, with but little difference In the fat
and nitrogen free extract. AS the protein
contains the substance of animal tissue,
this is important in the feeding of growing
and young animals. StOcEmdR.

She Made Her Tailor yeep


Quite recently 1t happened that lady
who was disappointed in the fit OF an
expensive tailor made garment, took it
back TO the little nan who made it, and
rather eloquenuy Eerated him for the
errors which were only too patent in the
cut Instead OF attempting to persuade
her to the contrary, the unhappy tailor
bust into tears, and throwing himself
down on chair admitted, with many
sobs, that it was all wrong. Here
was conf al situation. The
lady knew nCt what TO say,
while the little Frenchman, whose
skill has been acknowledged in many
directions, cried like a worn out woman.
He said with much truth and not little
pathos that the ladies had become so
very particular lie could no longer please
them; that he had made Jackets and
dresses and mistakes for them always,
but now he could bear no more. A
heart OF steel would have melted at this
out-burst of nerves." and this lady,
who is full OF sympathy forgot her own
grievance in the effort to comfort and
console him. After an hours hard work
he became somewhat composed, and, it
is hoped, encouraged for the future, by
her friendly and disinterested advice.
She says, however, that it will be long
time before she RECEIVERS from the alto
gether novel sensation OF apologiZing for
what was not her fault

HOUSEKEEPING.
Rugs ana Mating.

The variety of rugs from which one may
choose is wide even when excluding the
real" Persian and Turkish ones, which
are beyond the purses of most people.
The Smyrna rugs manufactured in Phila-
delphia are too we'll and favorably known
to need much comment, but the large sizes
in this make are not cheap, although their
durability makes them well worth the
purchase. An excellent substitute may be
made by buying the plain ingram filling,
sewing it into a square of the dimensions
desired, and surrounding it with border
to match.
When, for any reason, bare floor with
rugs is out of the question, the next best
thing is mating. 1t is easily kept clean,
for the dirt lies on top and can be brushed
off instead of becoming ground into the
fabric, as is the case with carpets. AZ 1T
grows dingy it may be freshened by wip-
ing it with cloth dampened in salt and
water.
Mating may not be the best floor cover
ing for hall where the constant tramping
back and forth is apt to break the straw
and wear it in spots. Nor can it be recon-
mended for use in the dining-room unless
protected under the table by a rug or
drugget. The pushing back of heavy
chairs soon leaves its mark even on the
stoutest carpet, and mating cannot stand
such rough usage. But in sitting-rooms,
and especially in sleeping apartments, it is
far preferable to carpet. In the bed
chambers small rugs laid by the bed,
bureau, and wash stand are all that is
really needed. even for delicate people
who dread to have their feet come in con-
tact with the cold surface. In the other
rooms larger rugs may be placed where it
seems best, by fireplace, sofa, or sewing
chair.
Mating is in thorough harmony with the
present style of cottage plenishings. 1t is
in keeping with scrim and Madras draper
les, wicker and Fayal chairs, bamboo
easles and screens, and the many other
light articles that are superseding up
holstered furniture.

More than an hour has elapsed since
Mr.. Bolton and the lawyer left the
Madam's heirs alone in the back par
Tor, to arrive at a conclusion.
Mr. Frederic Bolton has passed
away the time in pacing up and down
the hall outside the parlor door, mo-
mentarily expecting to see either Lou
or the Captain emerge from the room
to announce their decision.
Mr.. Bolton becomes impatient at
last. He coughs. Nobody comes.
Then he carefully approaches the door
itself, and coughs again.
Still nobody comes. Mr.. Bolton is
consuming with Impotence. He Won

throw away an inheritance ike that OF
Bywater Park. If she does she is no
true daughter of his. SO far as Bolton
is concerned personally, he would not
hesitate to make marriage himself,
providing the pill was gllded highly
enough.
He can wait no longer. His curiosity
is burning him up. He taps at the
door. Silence. Mr.. Bolton feels q
natural alarm. Perhaps they are dead.
He turns the door knob softly and
peers through a crevice as the door
swings gently back. He need feel
no alarm The first words that salute
the ears of the anxious parent dissipate
his fears.
He sees Loo standing by the long
window with the Captains arms about
her, and she is quoting, evidently il

About 10 per cent. of the swine of this
country die annually of disease. Perhaps
one-half of this fatality is due to specific
swine plague; the other half to various dis
orders, clearly occasioned by unwhclesome
conditions. These same divisions favor
the multiplication and preservation of the
bacillus which produces swine plague.
Tho loss from disease among swine makes
the prevention of disease n matter of great
moment to the swine growers, and | have
found in practice what theory indicates,
that the removal of unwholesome condi-
tlons prevents disease at the same time
that 1t largely increases the thrift of the
animals. During the last eighteen years
have raised swine largely ana have not lost
l per cent. from disease. The fact that
specific swine plague has ragged several
years IN my immediate neighborhood, sick
and dead hogs being separated from mine
by only an open fence, would show that
this disease is r.ot SO highly contagious as

TREES from distant nurseries can be or
dered safely in the fall, and if packed
properly they will come in the best condi-
ton. AS there will usually be no special
hurry, they can come by freight, and the
transportation will not be very expensive.
They carry best in boxes.
IT is not necessary that playhouse
should not freeze, but it is necessary that
the air should be free from dampness and
the chilliness which is connected with a
cellar in warm, damp places. Hogs are
very susceptible to colds, both inward and
Outward, and to rheumatism.
AMONG the leading breeds of domestic
ducks the Aylesbury is worthy the highest
commentator. They are an improved En-
glish product, popular in their own couu-
Try and fast gaining friends among our
American breeders. In them the farmer,
eottaSer, and fancier have a large sized
bird Tor market or home use, and one that
is remarkably hardy and productive.
ONE of the principal causes of heaves
in horses is the feeding of dusty or dirty
hay. Ordinary clean hay can always be
fed with safety if properly cut up, moist
ened, ana mixed with ground grain, but to
feed the musty or dirty sorts is very in
furious. Glover, owing to its liability to
crumble, often gets dirty, even after
storage, and should never be fed without
previously being moistened.
FEATHERS are very rich in nitrogen, and
should be used 10 add to the strength of
the manure heap. Like bones, they may
be quickly reduced by soaking them in a
solution of sui phuric acid and covering
them with a coarse compost, with which
they may be subsequently mixed. Indeed,
so strong are they that if properly dis
tributed and applied the results on a crop
of corn will be surprising.
The latest plan with ensilage is to cut
the entire corn crop-stalks, ears, and all
into the silo. The kernels OF the corn
will be wholly digesed by the cattle, as it
does not dry out nor lose its milky charac-
ter, which gives it succulence for rapid di-
gestion. A farmer who has made this point
one of special investigation so reports, and
atfirms that there is not a visible trace of
corn in the weddings.
